Talk about bad timing. With just two weeks to go until the Iowa caucuses and three weeks to New Hampshire, Rudy Giuliani is laid up in a hospital bed with what may be the flu and is sending surrogates out to raise his money and make his case.

For NJ that probably doesn't impact his likely win on Feb. 5, but it will impact his fundraising since people want to see him and not some surrogate.

Rudy Giuliani checked into Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis with flu-like symptoms.
Giuliani is resting comfortably, a hospital spokeswoman told NBC/NJ's Matthew Berger, and will be released today.
Time for his release has not yet been specified. Possible presser, but no guarantee, Berger reports. His scheduled NJ fundraising events will feature campaign manager Mike DuHaimee (sic) instead.

DuHaime is a well-respected New Jersey Republican operative, but compared to the candidate as the primaries approach he is just not a draw.

No one wants to see a surrogate, especially in place of "The Savior of 9/11". Now Rudy has the flu? It could be nothing more than that, but maybe it was brought on by sagging poll numbers. His natiopnal lead is gone; this flu may progress to a withdrawl.

Rudolph Giuliani: 9-11 Exploiter and "War on Terror" Profiteer... (0.00 / 0)

It's abundantly clear that Rudy has totally exploited 9-11 on both political and economic levels.

The following excellent Vanity Fair article by Michael Shnayerson could effectively blow Giuliani out of the water IF it were to be read by anyone seriously considering supporting him.

Giuliani has done an astounding number of business deals in the last six years-so many that the sheer volume may be the real reason they've evaded much serious scrutiny so far. But, taken together, they begin to suggest a not very attractive shape, and you don't have to be a Democrat to see it. All you have to do is pick up a pencil and start to connect the dots.

Please read and promulgate this article, the more people know about this creature; the less likely it is that he'll be able to steal the presidency.

If Giuliani ever somehow wormed his way into the White House he would make us long for the "good old days" of Bush Jr.
